Dirty little secret, they don't believe in democracy, or they wouldn't have plotted the Color Revolution that overthrew a democratically elected President of Ukraine c.2014.
In a recent speech in Kyiv, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken seemed to indicate that elections would not take place in Ukraine until the Russia-Ukraine war ends and “all Ukrainians” could vote.
During a Tuesday speech at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Blinken highlighted the United States’ continued partnership with Ukraine to help strengthen the country’s election infrastructure.
“We’re working with the government and civil society groups to shore up Ukraine’s election infrastructure,” Blinken said. “That way, as soon as Ukrainians agree that conditions allow, all Ukrainians – all Ukrainians, including those displaced by Russia’s aggression – can exercise their right to vote. People in Ukraine and around the world can have confidence that the voting process is free, fair, secure.”
Throughout his speech, Blinken emphasized the importance of eliminating corruption in Ukraine and warned that “eight in ten Ukrainians still believe that there’s one set of law for the elites and another for everyone else.” However, while Blinken said Ukraine’s democracy would be “weakened” if its citizens stopped believing they could hold the government accountable and “fix the flaws” in Ukraine, the secretary of state did not encourage free elections to be held until all Ukrainians could vote.
